The reactivities of various commercial and lab-made oxide samples (e.g., γ-Al2O3, CeO2, ZrO2 and TiO2) in the heterogeneous catalytic synthesis of N-phenylpropionamide (T, 383 K) from aniline and propanoic acid have been investigated. All the materials studied drive the direct synthesis of the amide to an extent depending on both the chemical and structural properties. A 0th-order kinetic dependence on the substrate concentrations suggests that the reaction proceeds via a Langmuir-Hinshelwood (L-H) pathway under kinetic control of the adsorption-desorption steps (the rate determining step, r.d.s.). The comparative analysis of the activity data on the basis of the relative surface specific kinetic constant discloses a superior surface reactivity of TiO2, CeO2 and ZrO2 over the γ-Al2O3 system, and also highlights marked differences in the catalytic functionality of the titania samples. IR spectroscopic studies of the carboxylic acids and amine adsorption and interaction patterns show the formation of the bidentate, bridging, and unidentate carboxylate intermediates accounting for the different amidation functionalities of the studied materials.

The Vilsmeier reagent (VR), first reported a century ago, is a versatile reagent in a variety of organic reactions. It is used extensively in formylation reactions. However, the synthesis of VR generally requires highly toxic and corrosive reagents such as POCl3, SOCl2, or COCl2. In this study, we found that VR is readily obtained from a CHCl3 solution containing N,N-dimethylformamide or N,N-dimethylacetamide upon photo-irradiation under O2 bubbling. The corresponding Vilsmeier reagents were obtained in high yields with the generation of gaseous HCl and CO2 as byproducts to allow their isolations as crystalline solid products amenable to analysis by X-ray crystallography. With the advantage of using CHCl3, which bifunctionally serves as a reactant and a solvent, this photo-on-demand VR synthesis is available for one-pot syntheses of aldehydes, acid chlorides, formates, ketones, esters, and amides.

A metal-free heterogeneous photocatalysis has been developed for the synthesis of benzothiazoles via intramolecular C-H functionalization/C-S bond formation of thiobenzanilides by inexpensive graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) under visible-light irradiation. This reaction provides access to a broad range of 2-substituted benzothiazoles in high yields under an air atmosphere at room temperature without addition of a strong base or organic oxidizing reagents. In addition, the catalyst was found to be stable and reusable after five reaction cycles.

Herein, unprecedented manganese-catalyzed direct α-alkenylation of amides using alcohols is reported. Aryl amides are reacted with diverse primary alcohols, which provided the α,β-unsaturated amides in moderate to good yields with excellent selectivity. Mechanistic studies indicate that Mn(I) catalyst oxidizes the alcohols to their corresponding aldehydes and also plays an important role in efficient C═C bond formation through aldol condensation. This selective olefination is facilitated by metal-ligand cooperation by the aromatization-dearomatization process operating in the catalytic system. Biorenewable alcohols are used as alkenylation reagents for the challenging α-alkenylation of amides with the highly abundant base metal manganese as a catalyst, which results in water and dihydrogen as the only byproduct, making this catalytic transformation attractive, sustainable, and environmentally benign.

The selective and effective conversion of low-cost and simple bulk chemicals into high value-added products through catalytic strategy has a wide range of practical significance. Here, a palladium-catalyzed method for the direct and efficient dicarbonylation of amines with basic industrial feedstock ethylene to imide has been developed. Moderate to excellent yields of the desired imides can be produced from readily available amines in a straightforward manner.

A highly efficient and selective oxidation of primary and tertiary amines employing SO2F2/H2O2/base system was described. Anilines were converted to the corresponding azoxybenzenes, while primary benzylamines were transformed into nitriles and secondary benzylamines were rearranged to amides. For tertiary amine substrates quinolines, isoquinolines and pyridines, their oxidation products were the corresponding N-oxides. The reaction conditions are very mild and just involve SO2F2, amines, 30% aqueous H2O2 solution, and inorganic base at room temperature. One unique advantage is that this oxidation system is just composed of inexpensive inorganic compounds without the use of any metal and organic compounds.

This work describes the application of pentafluoropyridine (PFP), a cheap commercially available reagent, in the deoxyfluorination of carboxylic acids to acyl fluorides. The acyl fluorides can be formed from a range of acids under mild conditions. We also demonstrate that PFP can be utilized in a one-pot amide bond formation via in situ generation of acyl fluorides. This one-pot deoxyfluorination amide bond-forming reaction gives ready access to amides in yields of ≤94%.

, p. 2820 - 2826 (2021/02/01)
A novel transformation of primary amides to secondary amides promoted by hypervalent iodine reagents was developed. The hypervalent iodine reagent-mediated Hofmann-type rearrangement generated an isocyanate intermediate, which was subsequently trapped by an in situ generated carboxylic acid from the hypervalent iodine reagent to provide the corresponding secondary amides. This method provided a facile and efficient route for the synthesis of secondary amides from primary amides and also revealed novel reactivities of hypervalent iodine reagents.

An efficient and selectiveN-functionalization of amides is first reportedviaa CuI-catalyzed Goldberg-type C-N coupling reaction between aryl iodides and primary/secondary amides run either in Deep Eutectic Solvents (DESs) or water as sustainable reaction media, under mild and bench-type reaction conditions (absence of protecting atmosphere). Higher activities were observed in an aqueous medium, though the employment of DESs expanded and improved the scope of the reaction to include also aliphatic amides. Additional valuable features of the reported protocol include: (i) the possibility to scale up the reaction without any erosion of the yield/reaction time; (ii) the recyclability of both the catalyst and the eutectic solvent up to 4 consecutive runs; and (iii) the feasibility of the proposed catalytic system for the synthesis of biologically active molecules.
